Make reviews

The company has been hiding bad execution for years behind the organic growth of its selfserve business. Good data, working systems, a real digital marketing strategy, none of this was ever put in place. Leadership was more interested in small intimate dinners and events than in generating real demand. Pricing differentiation has been a known problem for years and nothing has ever been done about it. This was okay when there were no real competitors. That changed last year. The company lost its influencers, its growth, and AI tools are now eating into the product value. But the company does not even have the basic things in place to understand what happened or what is needed to fix it. Now they are trying to act like a high growth company for the first time and it is not going well. They cut 15% of the workforce and tried to keep it quiet, which caused one week of panic and rumors. They could not even execute a simple layoff. The values they introduced, extreme ownership, get it done, craftsmanship, these just became ways to overload the employees while the executives do not follow them at all. No ownership of poorly executed layoffs, no getting it done for marketing growth or systems improvement, no craftsmanship in what is being launched because everything comes out rushed and incomplete. You always feel like you are failing and it is not good enough even when you give everything. Everyone at Make feels like they are not good enough no matter how hard they work. The company asks everything from you but does not hold itself to the same standard, and instead of recognizing the effort, they just tell you how bad everything is and how everyone needs to do more.

incompétent leadership no vision and strategy catastrofic People team, unaware of nothing
